Yesterday President Trump signed several executive orders advancing policies of the new administration and overturning executive action President Biden had taken. Though some of these might be slowed or stopped by lawsuits challenging their legality, many could have impacts on education programs and funding (all executive orders are posted here). With assistance from our colleagues at the Committee for Education Funding in Washington D.C., we wanted to list these in one document with links so you would have the text available for your review. In the coming weeks and months, we will keep you posted on the details and implementation issues involved with many of these that have the most significant impacts on TK-12 schools in California. The Executive Orders include:

We understand that not everyone could attend Chad's engaging and informative session on the "Insights on CP, Let's Talk About It." To ensure you don't miss out on the valuable information shared, we are pleased to provide you with a copy of his slides. We hope these materials serve as a helpful resource.

Dear colleagues in California and the greater IB global community,

The California fires dominating the global news have been insurmountably devastating for families in the Los Angeles region. Our hearts go out to everyone impacted by this horrible event. For our California schools, please remember that CAWS is there to serve and advocate for you however we can. We all see the immediate impact of what is happening in the LA region, but know the unforeseen long-term effects will be equally challenging. For our California colleagues, whether advocating through the state or with IBO, CAWS will always be your main point of contact for information, advocacy and support.
